HPV and sex??

I have just had my results from my smear test, which came back with the result of having the hpv virus and low grade dyskaryosis. Colonoscopy date impending. 

Im not so much worried about the result (it seems, from reading everything about it, I don't really need to worry until I know there's something to worry about), I'm more concerned about the health of my sexual partner. Would it be best to tell him? What's the danger of having sex while I wait for my colonoscopy? And once I can be certain I am rid of it, could I catch it off him if he is infected?
